Don and Phil Everly :: The Everly Brothers

The gentle, silken harmonies of the Everly Brothers were one of the musical
treasures of the 1950s and a major influence on the music of the 1960s.
The duo of Don and Phil Everly drew upon Appalachian folk, bluegrass and
country to craft a dreamy, innocent style of rock and roll. Their father,
Ike Everly, was an accomplished guitarist. He and his wife Margaret had
their sons performing regularly on their live radio show before they had
reached their teens. With Don taking the melody and Phil harmonizing above
him, the Everlys sang with flawless precision. Over the decades, the Everlys'
close-harmony style influenced the likes of the Beatles, the Hollies, Simon
and Garfunkel and the Byrds. The Everlys broke up in 1973. They have reunited
at various points since but ceased performing as a duo in 2004. In the
words of longtime fan Paul McCartney, "They were and still are the very
best." The Everly Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in 1986. ~ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
